Random sightings of ΣK letters or sisters!!!

[ufdale]

Well outside of Gainesville, GC is pretty much the only place that I see letters (the whole only chapter in FL thing). I secretly smile, though, every time I see KΣ letters. I just think "hah they spelled it wrong!" lol

Gaining recognition for the sigma kappa post whore movement one post at a time!

I'm at a different university from where I got my B.A. at & there is a SK chapter here. Every time I see a sister in her letters, I have to keep from waving like crazy & talking to her b/c most of the time, I'm tired & cranky from work & am usually rushing to get to my class or car.

I was wearing my windbreaker yesterday afternoon with my letters on it and the guy at Chipotle couldn't stop talking about how much he loved my sisters!! Apparently he'd gone to a party with them all Friday night and thought they were the greatest! lol

lol on another note, my mom can't stop calling me a kapa sig. WTF! She's gone to parents weekend, has several SK shirts and has had the tour of the house. You'd think she could get it right.
My dad was a KA and back in the day their rivalry was the KS house, so I guess my mom always heard about those Kappa Sigs while my parents were dating.

My grandmother sent me flowers congratulating me on getting into Kappa Sigma... Funny because my grandfather was in KSK I think she just got confused...

On I-275, I saw a sister driving a car with Ball State and Sigma Kappa decals. I would've waved to her, but before I could pull even with her car she got off the interstate. So cool - I never see our letters around here!

Here's two stories:

1) My Dad was getting on an airplane from Milwaukee to Chicago when the flight attendant spotted his WSU hat. She came up and asked him if he was a coug. He said no but that he is a proud Cougar dad. Being my father, he struck up a conversation with the woman. Turns out she not only pledged Sigma Kappa at WSU (though she later dropped the house), she also graduated from my high school. She said that she still had some friends that are SK alums and that they've been hearing great things about our chapter.

2) The summer after my senior year I went to a friend's wedding in my hometown. She was actually friends with my older brother and was four years older than me in school but our family is good friends with her family. The head counselor from the day camp I used to work at was there which I thought was weird because Jen and Vanessa were never really friends in high school. So I come to WSU a week later and go through recruitment on a total whim (I'm not the "sorority girl type" so I really went through just to see the insides of the houses.), and I get to Sigma Kappa on the first day and Jen, the head counselor, is standing outside as president of Sigma Kappa, which really made me think that maybe I too could be a sorority girl because Jen isn't the "sorority type" either. At the end of the week, I was given a bid to SK. From there it took a while for me to figure out that Vanessa was also a Sigma Kappa and a lot of my new sisters were at the wedding, sitting at the table next to me the whole time. My big sis was even one of Vanessa's bridesmaids.

Two "small world" stories.

The only other message board i've ever posted on (before this one) is for a band. It's actually how I met my boyfriend (geeky, I know -he runs the website) ANYWAY, turns out someone started a thread, i think asking about sororities, and I said something about being in one. I got a private message from someone, asking which one. Turns out she was a Sigma K too! It was nice to connect, and though we have yet to meet in person, it's fun to chat.


When I pledged, i went home and was showing my pledge book to my mom. Her good friend was over, and I knew the friend had been a Sigma K (same chapter, i didn't know this until about 2 days after I accepted the bid, so that was fun). She was looking at my family tree page, and lo and behold - her biological sister was my great-great-great-great grandbig (or somethign to that effect). I knew here sister, but didn't know her maiden name - so now it's fun that i'm in the same family with my mom's friend!

Another SK and I were walking in a parking lot yesterday wearing our philanthropy shirts and a lady is putting her kid in the car and as we walk past, she sticks her head around the corner and says "I'm a Sigma Kappa." It was fantastically exciting.

When I was at a recent union meeting, another teacher sat next to me. I dropped my pen and bent to retrieve it when I noticed her Sigma Kappa tote bag. I got excited and it turns out she was an alumna to the chapter I now advice. Small world but I met a new friend.

I'm so glad this thread resurfaced! Just the other week I was at Jazzercise & a woman approached me because of my Sigma Kappa recruitment shirt I was wearing. Turns out, she is a founding sister of the my chapter! It was so exciting to meet her, and learn more about the founding sisters. She probably thought I was crazy but I asked her a million questions! LOL When I asked for her email address she was almost hesitant to give it to me (but I've been good, I haven't harassed her anymore! LOL)

I haven't actually seen it, but twinkle555 saw a red jeep with an SK sticker on campus last week. She thought it was mine, but apparently there is another SK around here somewhere! I'm trying to find out who - probably someone else from my chapter who came here from grad school.

Fun story... I was in Jax, FL with two other sisters and we went to a mall to do some shopping. The sister that was driving has a SK sticker on her car and we came out to the car to find a note on the windshield. We never found out who wrote it but all we know is it was some sisters in the area.

A couple weeks later, I was at another shopping center and returned to my car to find another note from a sister who had spotted my decal. SHe happened to see me walking to my car, as she was behind me walking out of the store. She yelled my name, and I turned to see my great great grand big. She didnt know it was me when she wrote the note.

Moral of these stories: Sigma K's are born to shop!!!

My job just added another intern from my university... and she's a SK! It's doubly random since my school has no Greek Life and nearly all grad students come from somewhere else in the first place!

I used to have a red Jeep Wrangler! Yeah other Sig Kaps like jeeps too!
